The Lunatic Swing


June 4 to 29, 2013

Gallery Funaki proudly presents a group exhibition by six artists who met and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich: Attai Chen, Carina Chitsaz-Shoshtary, Sungho Cho, Laura Deakin, Melanie Isverding and Emma Price.

Their ex-teacher, Otto Künzli, says "since I know them all pretty well, let me elucidate: these six artists are not really crazy, or funny or even “nuts” or not quite right in the head in any other way! People like to think of artists as rather bizarre, peculiar, strange, as, go on, let's not beat about the bush; as somewhat crackpot and mad. And sometimes the latter do behave a little bit as if they are. But in fact, and this is, after all, what really matters, we artists are the only truly normal people."
